Oh wow! Thank you so much! Looks like one of those therapists is only an hour away from me, so I could potentially even see her in person!

Be afraid. Be very afraid.

And possibly horny.

I’ve tried a few distros now, and none have been so easy as Pop!_OS. I’ve switched back to Windows before, but not since this last time on Pop!_OS. It’s just so simple to use out of the box, they like to use flatpaks (which I LOVE), and the UI is so clean and intuitive that it would be hard for me to go back for that reason alone. Automatic. Fucking. Window. Tiling.

In regards to gaming, System76 puts in so much work on their end to make Pop!_OS a gaming beast. They even have a separate download of their distro specifically tweaked for compatibility with Nvidia cards, which is huge! I love using the terminal, but the Pop! Shop app that they inclue is such an intuitive way to find new apps (that are curated, specifically for ease of use with the distro) and easily check if there’s a flatpak version.

TL;DR Pop!_OS, hands down

I was just about to mention this. Go ahead, OP. Eat those pickles.

Thank you for sharing resources! It’s really gratifying to have such support! Do you know of any gender therapists I can reach out to online, by chance?

I’m so happy for you! If my mom ever told me I was a pretty girl, I’d cry. And also same… I kinda wish I didn’t spend my high school years internalizing homophobia and transphobia. I legitimately used to think that apathy was the key to getting through life… lol. Beginning this next step of my life has really made me realize how much I care about everything when I’m trying to be a girl. I can’t bring myself off the couch normally, but as I’ve started to view myself as a girl, my mind has been racing with diets and workout routines I can start, clothes I want to buy for myself, decorations for my space, and different looks I can try with makeup. How are the hormones going? Sending much love your way.

EDIT: typo

Lol, I’m not sure a goth phase is in my future, unless girl puberty just sucks. Not that goth isn’t beautiful, I just spent so long living in a pit that I’m overflowing with joy and gratitude and love and I want my fashion to reflect that! My fiancee is being very supportive of me. Tonight was the first night that she used she/her pronouns offhandedly to refer to me. She started seeing me as a girl when I came out, it’s just the first time she’s had the chance to use my pronouns as you don’t generally refer to someone like that to them directly. Anyway, it was just the most gratifying moment ever.

I love your name by the way, as soon as I came out, I had Christine and Kristen bouncing around my head (No, my deadname is not Chris).

Thank you for your supportive comment! Informative, and it made me laugh at the end :). I live in a small city in Alabama, USA. We’re definitely on the lighter end of possession of trans resources, and people around here can be pretty transphobic. However, it’s also a growing college town, and I have a friend from high school who I’m trying to reconnect with that transitioned here. So, the resources are definitely available, but they’re probably few in number.

You haven’t played New Vegas, have you? You can pick both. Bisexuals do +10% damage to men and women, just like in real life.

Obligatory mention of New Vegas making sexuality a set of perks, just like in real life.
